Introduction
The LDB-1se is the second edition of Delptronics
’
modern classic LDB-1
“Little Drummer Boy”
Analog Drum
Machine. Our goal was to recreate the warm analog sounds of the legendary 80's machines, like the Ro-
land TR-606 and TR-808. The brain of the LDB-1se is a microcontroller that is more powerful that anything
available in the 80’s, enabling us to provide
all the features of a modern drum machine sequencer.
All of this comes in an inexpensive, battery powered machine.
